Author: i wish i wasnt born
7:00 - wake up, jack off, shower, jack off again
7:50 - Buy bagel and coffee from cafe; dream of fucking the somewhat cute cashier girl who must wonder why I look so sad and depressed every morning
8:00 - Go into office, try not to look at old, fat, ugly, bitchy associate whose office I have to pass. God she is dumb too. Wonder what I have done in my life to deserve to work with such a stupid bitch.
8:01 - Log onto system. Check nytimes.com and stock market. Check two dozen useless e-mails, most of them from dumb ass junior female associates on the other coast who are stupid enough to send out email questions to the entire fucking firm rather than research it themselves. Wonder why it is that female associates send 90% of the dumbass e-mail questions.
8:20 - Start dreaming about fucking a hot bitch; will continue for most of morning. Wish I could close my office door and jack off.
8:30 - Start working on actual billable stuff even though I've been billing the client for my dreaming and surfing. Close door to keep out sounds of annoying fat ass secretaries. Wonder why anyone would want to waste their life being a legal secretary.
Until noon - Continue working on whatever, hoping not to be called by any other attorneys asking for help. If busy actually try to finish shit. If not busy try to waste time so I can bill more on the project and fuck over the client.
Noon - go out of office, walk down street hoping to see some hot bitches since all I see are ugly fat bitches in the office. Buy a sandwich, come back to office and eat it alone checking nytimes and billing client for the time
Afternoon - fat ass stupid bitch secretary comes into office for third time. Asks stupid ass question; wastes my time; I pretend to be nice even though I wish she were dead. Wonder why secretary can't write a cover letter without having to ask me a question. Wonder why I can't have a 22 year old hot secretary instead of a 60 year old haggy fat bitch.
4:00 - asshole senior partner calls me with "emergency" assigment that must be completed by tomorrow morning. I know fucking ass partner will come into my office tomorrow morning so I actually feel like I have to work on it. Wonder why this partner always calls me after 4 and always needs an answer within 18 hours. Dream of shooting him.
8:00 - somewhat finish assignment. E-mail partner with answer and hope he won't ask follow up questions even though I know he will. Input my hours into the firm's billing system. Try to double bill as much as I can. Try to "estimate" my time, being fair to myself of course.
8:15 - leave office, take taxi home that firm pays for. Buy some Indian or Thai food. Get home, surf net for porn. Jack off two or three times. Take hot bath. Jack off. Go to sleep dreaming of fucking hot bitch.
Repeat next day.

Date: November 9th, 2012 11:47 AM Author: lascivious yarmulke codepig Doesn't mean it has to be that way in your household. You can split parent) duties anyway you want. I know BIGAW women with stay at home husbands. These men do nothing but cook, clean and take care of the children. It is all about the relationship you cultivate.

Date: November 9th, 2012 12:43 PM Author: Saffron comical tanning salon and, given the social pressures that you acknowledge exist, do you think it is easier to cultivate a relationship in which the man is expected to be the stay-at-home parent, or the woman?

Date: November 9th, 2012 11:26 AM Author: insanely creepy queen of the night Well, for example, most maternity leave lasts 3 months at the max while women are encouraged to breast feed for a year. Pumping breast milk at the office and making sure you've stock piled enough just in case you end up having to work an 18 hour day is not something a man has to deal with.

Date: November 8th, 2012 3:01 PM Author: Self-centered Church Building The only way that schedule could work is if you were a single male and lived very close to the office.

Date: November 9th, 2012 8:35 AM Author: Exhilarant hell This. I never got why some people choose to send ridiculous, long-winded all-firm farewell emails. First of all, no one at the firm gives a shit and no one is going to lament this woman's life situation. Second, you're hurting your professional reputation with your last correspondence to hundreds of former colleagues. Farewell emails are not the appropriate forum for martyrdom.
PROTIP: When leaving a firm, don't send out all-firm emails. No one cares that you're leaving, it happens all the time. Send out a short email to the people you actually worked with and/or are friends with at the firm with your contact information, what your next step is and how you will miss working with these people. |

Date: November 9th, 2012 8:48 AM Author: Exhilarant hell There's something to be said for going out with a little class and style. All you need to do in a farewell email is thank your colleagues and give them a way to reach you in the future. Everyone she actually knew at the firm would understand why she was leaving without this whiny, self-important email that predictably would end up on ATL.
